Zone Transfer Prob.

[Joaquin J. Domens]

Thanks Bill, Simon, for your quick response :-)

Just after sending the messages I remembered the forward option, the thing was
that i was not sure about serving his own authoritative zones.

I've set up all the internal zones in dnsinternal and I've put all other dns's
with internet access as forwarders, so that dnsinternal ask the others for
internet resolution and it seems to work as i wanted.

Anyway I've find very useful your comments about it.

Thanks a lot ;-)
